Playlist
from July 19, 2013

"I fancy him at the court of Minos, anxious to know what sort of unmentionable monster the Minotaur may be, whether he is as frightful as all that or perhaps charming?" - Albert Camus
(Visit homepage.)

Recorded February 25, 2013, "musique concrète chorale for open-reel tape machines and soprano Alwynne Pritchard. OBAMIX examines the rhetorical flourishes of the speech-maker, drawing its libretto from three of Barack Obama's defining speeches." For more information, see: http://tinyurl.com/pkrgvl4

Mine as well. He's got a way of speaking to the moment with his song selection. In my wife's wedding vows, she promised to dance with me to Glen Jones any sunday upon request....for the most part she's stuck to it.

nice, carm... The goal here this weekend is to do a little R&D to figure out what makes music sound COLD. And do it. A lot. Missus is out of town until sun.night, so I'll be living in studio...

One time the Pogues were playing in Germany. A drunk heckler kept asking they could play The Turkey Song by The Damned. They didn't understand what he was saying, but they ended up writing The Turkish Song of the Damned, which appears on the If I Should Fall From Grace With God album.
